Periostat is a name used for the drug doxycycline. This is an antibiotic that belongs to the class of antibiotics called tetracyclines. Periostat is used for gum disease patients, also known as periodontitis. It’s used after a patient has had a specific dental procedure called scaling and root planning. This procedure helps the gums around a tooth attached to the root of the tooth more easily. This medication is used at a low dose during this dental procedure and isn’t enough to treat bacterial infections. However, it can keep gum tissue from breaking down.
Scaling and root planning is a procedure that patients get when they have gum pockets around a tooth. When the gums come loose from the tooth, infections can get inside and lead to lost teeth. Scaling and root planning are ways to treat the tooth’s root so the gums can better attach themselves to the root.
This medication treats periodontitis, an infection and inflammation of the tissues around the teeth. Periostat is used to slow down the rate at which collagen breaks down. This is a protein that supports several tissues in the body.
This medication generally isn’t used to treat other bacterial infections. It also doesn’t work on viral infections, such as a cold or the flu.
Periostat is also available for purchase as a generic.
Periostat Precautions and Warnings
If you’re allergic to this medication or other tetracycline medications, don’t take Periostat. Don’t take it if you’re in the second half of your pregnancy. Many recommend that it not be taken at all during pregnancy, as it does pose some risk to the baby. Don’t breastfeed while using this medication.
If you have a muscle weakness condition called myasthenia gravis, don’t take Periostat. This medication shouldn’t be taken by anyone under eight years old. Make sure that your doctor knows all of the medication you take as well as your medical history before you take this drug.
Like many antibiotics, this one can make birth control pills less effective against pregnancy. If you’re taking Periostat, you may need to use another form of birth control while you take it. Doxycycline can also increase your risk of developing high blood pressure in your brain. If you get a headache, double vision, or blurry vision, tell your doctor immediately. You may need medical attention.
This medication can cause patients to develop esophagus problems. This can mean injury and ulcers in the esophagus. Patients can help prevent these problems by taking their Periostat pills with a full glass of water. While you do this, sit upright or stand up. Once you’ve taken the medication, don’t lie down for the next hour or two. This can keep it from being trapped in your esophagus and causing damage.
Taking Periostat can cause specific fungi and bacteria to get overgrown in the body. This can mean that you get thrush from taking this medication. This yeast infection affects the mouth and can cause white patches inside it. Please let your doctor know if you have symptoms of thrush, such as chills and fever. You may need to be treated for it.
It’s also possible to develop an infection of a gut bacteria called C. difficile. This can happen because the antibiotic kills off some other bacteria, allowing the C. difficile to get overgrown. It releases toxins, and this can cause health problems. People with this overgrowth often get chronic diarrhea. This condition will need medical treatment.
This medication can also make you more sensitive to sunlight. It’s essential to keep your skin protected anytime you have to be in the sun and avoid sunlight when possible. Don’t use a tanning booth or get close to a sunlamp while on this medication. If you become sunburned while on this medication, tell your doctor.
This medication shouldn’t be used in anyone under age eight, including while in the womb and during infancy. It can affect tooth development and cause the teeth to be permanently discolored, a gray/yellow/brown color.

If you have the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction to this medication, seek medical help right away.
